Be Love

In our podcast interview with Amanda Held  Opelt, author of "Holy Unhappiness: God, Goodness, and the Myth of the Blessed Life,"  we discussed the powerful role our emotions play in shaping our lives. Amanda's profound understanding, shaped by her own experiences, including the sudden loss of her sister Rachel Held Evans and her battle with infertility, serves as a poignant reminder to explore a more profound sense of fulfillment through faith while embracing the intricate tapestry of our emotions in our pursuit of genuine happiness.   Amanda challenged the conventional idea that achieving external markers of success guarantees happiness. Instead, she urged us to root ourselves in Christ to prevent our feelings from dictating our life's course. We also explored the importance of helping our children navigate uncomfortable emotions and coping with life's disappointments when our checkbox approach to happiness falls short.   Get Amanda’s book here Learn more about Amanda Held Opelt BE LOVE do good is a par
